STOP Legislation that Outlaws Online Poker

Dear US Poker Player,

Republican presidential nominee John McCain needs to hear from you TODAY.  This week, the Republican Platform Committee included language in the party platform (a document outlining the priorities of the GOP) that supports efforts to outlaw online poker and other forms of online gaming.  This is especially troubling given that hundreds of PPA members and poker enthusiasts contacted the Platform Committee and stated their preference that the GOP not include anti-online gaming language in this year’s platform like they did in 2000 and 2004.  Sadly, the GOP ignored these calls and decided to abdicate core conservative principles in favor of a "nanny-state" approach to governance.

Please let McCain know you are not pleased with his party’s decision by sending him a letter TODAY telling him to repudiate this plank of the GOP platform.  Simply click the button below to send a letter directly to McCain’s presidential campaign. You can send PPA's prewritten letter in less than 60 seconds!  Or, you can use the site to send your own letter.  It's that easy!

Send Email to John McCain

Thank you for making your voice heard.  With the election just weeks away it is more important than ever that the candidates know POKER PLAYERS VOTE!
